        Yes - this is the correct address.

       The code and make for XAS assume that there is a file - usually
a soft link file named X11 in /usr/include.  On my machine this looks
like:

primate<152>$ cd /usr/include
/usr/include
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Feb 24  2004 X11 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/
primate<154>$ cd ../X11R6/include/X11/
/usr/X11R6/include/X11
primate<155>$ ls
ap_keysym.h   Core.h        HPkeysym.h    Object.h    ShellP.h      X10.h      Xaw3d/        Xft/          Xlibint.h  Xos_r.h      Xthreads.h

primate<156>$ 

These X11-developer tools are needed to compile XAS (sometimes the RPM
to load these is omitted when building the system).

    I do not know where this command came from - it is not in aips
anywhere that I can find other than documentation.  If you are running
XWindows then xdpyinfo should show you lots of things.  If you are not
running XWindows then none of the aips daemons will work (XAS which
did not compile, TKSERV, MSGSRV).
